This is a lachrymouse. He goes "sobsobsobMEEP, sobsobsobMEEP," as you might expect.
This was a birthday commission for a friend (obviously not actually named Aleksandr Pushkin).
Or without the giant "Ex Libris" (as my friend preferred):
What do you think?
- A view across the rooftops of a town made of umbrellas
- Wombats abed (but you know beds are hard to draw!)
- That fennel bulb and its feathery foliage -- but in what setting? Perhaps some lumberjacks.
- Three Men in a Crouton Boat (To Say Nothing of the Bulldog)
This is not half as charming as it was in my head, but I don't have time to make it better (I didn't really have time to make it as it was). Oh well!
Just a little sumpin' sumpin'.
Oops, fixed to deal with the stupid misplaced highlight I originally had on the front cat-guy's pants. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with my color profile when I save this -- the raspberry color is much more intense in my Photoshop file. Oh well.
Thanks to lint's helpful suggestions, I have revised the squid picture. I think this version is a great improvement. If only crits in my university art classes had been so immediately rewarding.
Unfortunately, the new layout does result in a proportional en-smallening of the squid and girl when it gets resized for Vox. But you can click through to see a version large enough that the squid does not appear to be a giant daikon. The border is just there so you can appreciate what's going on with the arrangement on the page.
Just three colors on this one, and no vegetables. Astonishing! But meanwhile, I bought a fennel bulb at the farmer's market this weekend for the express purpose of having an excuse to draw something else with feathery foliage. Whatever compression Vox does with its automatic resizing is having an unfortunate effect of making the edges of color areas darker than they should be here, giving a watercolor/over-Unsharp-Mask'd effect. Oh well.
Another drawing made with the tablet. It's not as sexy as the frilly-headed carrot, but I like the poster-y quality on this one. Mise en scene, if any, to be decided. Please make suggestions. It's fun!
Maybe it should be towering over a dense grey cityscape, or maybe some small creatures should be resting in the shade of its leaves? I haven't forgotten about the other carrot options either.
This might serve as a color separation for a silkscreen version of the astrobun carrot. Right now it's in five colors (light green, dark green, dark blue-grey, light orange, and dark orange). I also did one with the shadow in light green, but (stupidly) didn't save it. I dunno. The auto-resize makes the shadow dots weird, but they look OK at the full size that I uploaded.
And a detail:
Thank you for participating in my poll. Geegaw made the excellent point that there is no reason I could not make more than one picture featuring our friend the carrot. Oh, digital age, your marvels are unceasing! I am afraid I do not have the skill or patience to replicate the lunar excavation scene from 2001, but I was indeed able to create an astronaut rabbit. I'll teleport the carrot to the peaceful countryside later.
Also, now that it is the weekend, I will (re)commence working on Inform and voxing about it (as well as getting back to my dissertation, which I have been neglecting for the last couple of days). I also have my work camera at home, so there will be photos of socks. The fun is neverending!
